Camping Mt Lemmon

It was wondeful to escape the heat and camp on Mt Lemmon. It was about 103 in the valley when we left and as we arrived at the campsite it was 76, awesome!

Here's chase helping carry the gear down to the car, what a helper, ha ha!

Can you resist a face that dirty and yummy. Just the right combo of dirt, chocolate and marshmellow. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for coming, they rock!I actually caught some pretty great zzzzs thanks to my ear plugs. When asked about his favorite part of camping. Jack thought for a minute before answering confidently: "MARSHMELLOWS."

We're Home!

Sometimes when I am in Utah I can't believe we still have a life here in AZ and then we make the 12 hour trek home and viola! Our whole other live is waiting for us:) Look how full our car was!

The drive home is always so beautiful.

Chase was glad to be back to our frige where he can finally get his own drink of water, wahoo!

They love standing on the chairs in the backyard looking over the wall at their little friend next door. Chase's perch looks pretty precarious doesn't it?

The best part about being home: Fun with Daddy!

Family Pics 2010

My amazing sister Tracy Anderson of Anderson Photography

was gracious enough to take our yearly round of family photos.

Thank you Tracy!

I am so lucky to have her, for so many reasons.

The pics turned out amazing. I love this man. So glad to have him home with me again.Chase always makes us laugh, he has the most expressive face. Funny story about the above pic.

I was trying to copy my brother and Sister-in-laws kissing pic, featured on her blog here. This illustrates the difference between their kids and our crazy Chasie! Good thing we love him so much:)

My precious and good Jack. He is just a good kid. What more can I say?

Last but certainly not least! Super rope-swing mom!
